Least but not last, we are proud to be an ECO-FRIENDLY RESORT having always been careful and taking the utmost care in preserving at its best the splendid nature that surrounds us, all of the following precautionary measures have been taken:

All our cottages and Pool Villas and any other building on the island were built using only local materials coming from Jawa island and cutting palm trees only when was absolutely needed and leaving the island natural as much as possible.

Water dispenser and multi use steel vacuum bottles are installed inside each rooom.

Bottles can be refilled all the time during the Clients’ stay, creating no extra waste of plastic bottles.

Only paper straws "by request" are used on our resort.

Paper cone cups will replace plastic bottles of complimentary water or plastic cups during transfers.

As part of the protection plan for the reef, permanent moorings will be set up next months all around the archipelago, to have safe places for resort own boats that need to anchor during excursion or dives, but also to provide a securing point for the fishermen who seek shelter for the night, enabling them to stay safe while not having to drop an anchor, which causes damage to the reef every time.

Kura Kura Resort offers the discerning traveler the opportunity to discover this still-hidden gem in SoutheastAsia with its unique comfort.
